I just work on mine as therapy, but this driving thing sounds fun.

Drive it all year-round. Weather permitting.

Where I live in AZ we get some snow but it doesn't linger all winter long.

more than summer lover

Usually on the road from april when snow is gone til Nov-Dec when snow is back. Roll up about 5-6000 miles per year in 6-7 months.

Still have it out as weather is still hanging in there in New England.

We are blessed with driving weather all year round but we try to drive less over the "winter" (fried turkey in shorts coming up!) to get things done to our cars.... Otherwise it might never happen!

What is this "snow" you speak of? I drive year round, not quite daily, but definitely several times a week.

I am going to rip of the car cover as soon as I get home from my latest business trip and I am going to drive it until someone call me home for dinner. I figure I only have a few weeks left until I give her her final wax and I will then put her up for the long winter months

Dude the car was born in Germany, the heater works really well and the stock tires are skinny by modern standards. Drive it all year! And post some pics of that car, looks very unusual...and nice!
